Creamy Chicken and Noodles

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Yield: Makes 6 servings

Ingredients

1 (0.6-oz.) envelope Italian dressing mix

1 (8-oz.) package wide egg noodles

2 tablespoons butter, softened

3 cups chopped cooked chicken

1 cup whipping cream

1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Preparation

1. Remove 1 Tbsp. Italian dressing mix from envelope, and set aside; reserve remaining mix for another use.

2. Cook noodles according to package directions; drain well, and return noodles to pan.

3. Stir in 2 Tbsp. butter, and toss to coat. Stir in chopped chicken, next 3 ingredients, and 1 Tbsp. dressing mix. Cook mixture over medium-high heat, tossing to coat evenly, 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Serve immediately.

**John recommends doubling up on the amount of italian dressing mix and parmesan cheese that is called for in the recipes. This will add an extra flavor punch.
